Anti-Environmental Archives

The Anti-Environmental Archives is a project to curate historic documents from the anti-environmental movement, cataloging organizations and individuals who work to undermine environmental protection and conservation.

With the launch of this archive on Earth Day 2015, we are posting over 3,500 documents, some 27,000 pages, covering 350 organizations and individuals. The current archive includes mainly documents collected in the late 1980s through the early 2000s by The Clearinghouse on Environmental Advocacy and Research (CLEAR), an organization that tracked the rise of the so called "Wise Use" movement in the 1990s during the Clinton presidency. Multiple organizations and individuals who were active in the anti-environmental movement in the 1990s are still fighting today against Federal environmental and public lands policy.

More documents will be added over time from FOIAs, court records and other research. We welcome document contributions. Please contact us anonymously or directly through the mail or email.

About Polluter Watch

PolluterWatch is a project of Greenpeace that holds polluters accountable for the work they’re doing to block the transition from the dirty fossil fuels of the past to the clean energy sources of the future.

The science is clear: We must take immediate action to avert the worst effects of global warming. But polluters, their lobbyists, and the politicians who work with them are holding the climate debate hostage and poisoning the debate about policies that would lower our greenhouse gas emissions and kickstart a clean energy revolution. Help us hold the polluters accountable. Get in touch today and find out how you can help. Learn More
